I bailed 1/2 way because of boredom and unwillingness to re-read the parody of Jesus and his male disciples yet again. One sentence I particularly liked: mild-mannered people, as it turned out, also harbor monsters in the recesses of their mind. Nice.
I don't think I have the time for this one. I'm abandoning this book half way through, can't stomach any more. Felt flat, boring and repetitive. Usual "love life, love yourself, love others, give, be mindfull, appearance is not everything and might be misleading" and so on thruths. Very simple writing, reminds me very much of Paulo Coehlo, just little bit less imagination and less articulate this one. Why on earth someone would give it to me with "it will change the way you think" words... I don't know. I found it very naive, written for people who are either very young, or in their "Paulo Coehlo" phase.
I don’t usually DNF a book but this was.. too.. pretentious? For lack of a better word. It couldn’t pull me in enough to make me stay. The repetition, it almost felt silly. I’m aware it’s supposed to represent a more spiritual view on life but I couldn’t keep going, because it was outright boring.
